I am quite sure this has been answered before somewhere in this forum, but generally speaking, there is no real answer to that. It seriously depends on the employers' perceptions of local university degrees VS overseas-degress offered in Singapore.

The UOL business degree is indeed an accredited one by the UOL external programmes, and have been known to include coursework, professors and examination papers similar to the London universities (e.g. LSE). In this aspect, they can be well-regarded.

Employers may however still have some doubts over the quality and rigour of the programmes, as the local degrees are well-known for the rigour (even when compared to any overseas uni) and it really depends on whether the employers are looking for people who have undergone such an education.

What do the others think?

From what i understand, it is after all under UK's UOL and LSE.

Will employers favour local uni's business degree over SIM UOL business degree?

Do you all know if UOL Business have specialisation for any sector like marketing, hr or management after we study for one or two years? Hope seniors in UOL will answer my questions. Is it difficult to study in UOL also? SInce its a one time exam based.

Also, is it possible to apply to more than one deg prog? (tho prob there are more applicatn fees involed)

It's a bit more expensive of the app fees to apply to SIM-UOL. However, the cut-off point should be around 1.5-2 as long as you are able to pay fees to SIM-UOL should be able to get in. I would also like to know whether the civil/public service sector like govt sectors recognise the SIM-UOL cert?
